The exception that proves the rule
Date: 2023-11-08 AO: meathead Q: voodoo PAX: Uncle Leo, The Worm, MARTA, high_tide, voodoo FNGs: None COUNT: 5 5 pax posted at Meathead for a really bad idea that I had. More on that in a bit.
Warm up: SSH x 20 IC 1H swings x 5 per side IW x 15 IC High pulls x 5 per side Prying squats x 2 Cleans x 5 per side
The Thang: we’re going to roll out a new spreadsheet for Meathead and its sister sites in the new year. Until then, Qs are asked to hit some minimum number of reps of a particular exercise. For this week and next, it’s 200 swings. What better way to get there than Dan John’s Humane Burpee, but with an inhumane twist (more reps)?
Round 1: 15 swings, 15 goblet squats, 1 merkin Round 2: 15 swings, 14 goblet squats, 2 merkins . . . Round 15: 15 swings, 1 goblet squat, 15 merkins
This was a real #crowdpleaser.
Carries: suitcase out/back and overhead out/back
Mary: Hollow body hold for about 45 seconds
COT: we circled up with the Anvil pax.
Announcements: > Mark your calendars for the South Charlotte F3 Christmas Party at Orange Whip’s home on 12/17. Ms are invited. This party is open to all pax from Area 51, SOB, even Waxhaw! Frisbee players can also come.
> F3 Accelerate fundraiser is in effect now, benefitting the F3 Foundation. The Foundation covers at least some of the cost of expansion efforts so F3 can find more sad clowns. It also awards grants to different regions to support pax-led initiatives to serve their local communities. No obligation to give, but they would welcome your donation.
Moleskine: > I always tell people that as hard as it is to get up in the morning, I never regret posting at a workout, but I always regret missing one. Well, this workout might actually be the one time I wished I hadn’t posted. As I write this backblast 2 days later, I am still sore and walking like an old man. The reason the backblast is late is because I couldn’t stand up to walk to my computer. Advice for future Qs, do 10 goblets rather than 15 and just add a set of 50 swings at the end of the workout. I don’t know about the rest of the pax, but I took multiple breaks, including laying on the ground at times. I also mixed in some teabag squats. The main set included 225 swings, 120 squats, and 120 merkins.
> Thanks to the pax for posting and putting up with my terrible workout idea.
> Coach K will be our Q on Saturday and I know it will be great since he started working on his weinke on Monday. I will be Qing Swole on Monday and Flipper will complete the Q swap by Qing Meathead next Wednesday. I hope to see some old and new pax out there. The weather is great and winter is the time to put on some muscle before the running picks up again in the Spring!
